Chapter 260 Not so Coincidental!

In the Spring Festival of 2009, Xiaoshenyang landed on the Spring Festival Gala and performed the sketch "Not Bad for Money". In that spring, he became the hottest star in the country, no one. Li Mu heard a friend who worked in a fashion magazine talk about that time. After the Spring Festival Gala, all the magazines wanted to look for Xiaoshenyang to shoot the cover, all the TV stations wanted to find Xiaoshenyang for exclusive interviews, and even invited to perform, and even TV drama and film directors also sought after him.

In the 2010 Spring Festival Gala, magician Liu Qian became popular all over the country overnight. Compared with Xiaoshenyang the previous year, it was even worse.

Li Mutai understands the overlord-level power of star-making in the Spring Festival Gala, and he can foresee how popular Zhang Kexuan will be when the simple plan takes the stage in the Spring Festival Gala.

Zhang Kexuan's singing skills are ok, his looks are also ok, and the four songs he gave him are also on the charts. It can be said that everything is ready and only owed to the east wind. If the Spring Festival Gala does not explode, it is against common sense. A big push will definitely make Simple Plan the hottest star in the country. By that time, Simple Plan will also be sought after by major TV stations just like Xiao Shenyang and Liu Qian after the Spring Festival Gala that year.

And Li Mu asked them not to be interviewed by any media, and the purpose was very simple: to use the fame of Simple Plan to praise Chen Wan.

Chen Wan is the host. Although she has not yet appeared on the scene, she has already entered the TV station for an internship. Even if there is a temporary pressure from the anchor, it is only a matter of time before she will appear on the scene. Once the simple plan explodes, Zhang Kexuan will become a national idol, and she will plan it herself A piece of news, for example, some media secretly photographed Zhang Kexuan and Chen Wan shopping together, the major media will definitely use this news to stir up a round of news, Chen Wan's external conditions are excellent, and in the eyes of the media, it is definitely a topic of conversation, so a news The hot spot will definitely boost her popularity.

At that time, Zhang Kexuan will come out to clarify Chen Wan's identity, tell everyone that this is his cousin, reveal the group photos and family photos of the two in childhood, teenagers and even in recent years, and then reveal that Chen Wan is the assistant host of Yanjing TV station. such as mountains. The misunderstanding is clarified, the media will find out that there was an oolong, the fans will find that it was a false alarm, and the idol is not in love. But more ordinary viewers will find that, oops, this host named Chen Wan is so beautiful, what is the show she hosts? Be sure to check it out.

Zhang Kexuan is estimated to have turned purple by then, but no TV station will have the opportunity to interview him. Only Chen Wan has this resource and ability. Yanjingtai will definitely not miss this opportunity. In addition, Chen Wan has already been popularized by Zhang Kexuan. This time is a good opportunity to push her out and create it with all her might. TV stations will not miss this opportunity.

The so-called bundled marketing is almost the same.

Why does the company want to promote a newcomer to debut, and the most favorite method is to make him (her) and other famous artists of the company have scandals? For celebrities, gossip is the easiest way to attract attention. Li Mu also thinks that the promotion method of big stars and small stars is very simple, direct and cost-effective. For example, those public accounts operated by Weibo and WeChat will use their own resources to cultivate a few more trumpets, and they have unique advantages.

But Li Mu didn't say his plan in front of the two of them, he just warned Zhang Kexuan, don't worry about the rest, just remember not to be interviewed by other media outside CCTV. He agreed without hesitation.

Li Mu thought in his heart that in two or three months, he would say that Chen Wan's name would spread all over the country. If the leaders of Yanjing TV have no problem with their brains, 80% of them will give Chen Wan a ladder, and then they will take advantage of the situation and take out the super girl voice.

Spring preparations. The summer vacation started, and the host was Chen Wan from the beginning to the end, and no one except her.

He still didn't believe it. With him, who could suppress Chen Wan and prevent her from blooming.

...

Li Mu posted on the forum of the Yanjing Film Academy about the recruitment of a group. Hiring photographers, theater managers, set managers, props, lighting, art and costume makeup. I left my contact number and a contact qq.

The reason why I want to find students is because those who have had several years of experience, most of them already have their own style and way of doing things, and I have seen the original book of this movie, and I am already familiar with it. As for the changed one. version, all the shots and scenes have a very specific structure in his mind.

Thinking, so Li Mu didn't want to look for the old fritters that had already been identified. He thought that this micro-movie was completely based on his own ideas, but he lacked experience in the industry, so he just stayed as an amateur to the end and formed a team with little experience, as long as he could guarantee that everyone would Doing things, being obedient and doing things according to your own requirements is enough.

After the post was posted, Li Mu continued to receive a lot of calls. Some were students from the Film Academy, and some were film practitioners who graduated from the Film Academy and have not yet made a name for themselves. Li Mu kept the information of these people simple. Recorded it and prepared to meet and chat on weekends.

A QQ user named Favorite Pork Belly requested to add Li Mu as a friend, and the request message was: "Your crew doesn't have any producers, right?"

Seeing that Li Mu was someone related to the movie, he passed his request. As soon as he passed, the other party immediately sent a message and sent the request message again.

Li Mu's crew now only has himself and the actors who have already been appointed. He has no clue about the rest, and naturally he has no producers. Moreover, he feels that there is no need to hire a producer for such a micro-movie, so he is not ready to recruit at all. This character entered the group, so he replied: "Not yet, not ready to recruit."

Favorite Pork Belly said: "How can a movie be done without a producer? If you have an executive producer, you can leave it to the executive producer to prepare for the formation of the group."

Then he added another sentence: "Dude, are you not an insider?"

Li Mu then said, "No, I just want to invest my own money to make a micro-movie."

His favorite pork belly suddenly became interested. He didn't quite understand what a micro-movie was, so he asked Li Mu, "What is a micro-movie? Can you give us some popular science?"

Li Mu replied: "Like other films, it is also a story, but it is short, the whole film is about forty minutes."

The favorite pork belly is very surprised: "This kind of film can't be in theaters!"

Li Mu replied: "I'm not ready to go to theaters, it will be broadcast on TV and the Internet."

My favorite pork belly doesn't even understand: "Will the TV station be willing to buy this kind of film to broadcast?"

Li Mu said: "Don't spend money on TV stations, broadcast them for free."

His favorite pork belly was completely stunned. He asked Li Mu, "How much are you going to invest?"

Li Mu thought for a while: "About two million."

My favorite pork belly was surprised and said, "Dude, two million is enough to make a 90-minute movie, so why make it 40 minutes?"

Li Mu said: "Ninety minutes is too long to be broadcast on TV."

The favorite pork belly said: "Are you the director?"

Li Mu said, "Yes."

Favorite pork belly said: "The screenwriter is also you?"

"Yes."

My favorite pork belly also said: "Dude, to tell you the truth, I also studied directing, and I am still studying at the Yanjing Film Academy. I read your recruitment notice, and I feel that what you really lack is a producer. If you Believe me, I am willing to recommend myself to be your producer, help you coordinate all the affairs, I can also find suitable talents for you for these positions you recruited, what do you think?"

Li Mu asked him, "Why do you want to be a producer when you learn to direct?"

My favorite pork belly said: "I am forced by life. I usually shoot a little something. This year, I made a film similar to your micro-movie. The film is more than 70 minutes long. It is a dv film. Money, I can't even buy a good DV now."

Li Mu asked again, "Do you have any experience in preparing for the formation?"

Favorite Pork Belly replied: "To be honest, I have experience but I am not very professional. Most of the contacts I have been with are school students, but I have also worked in many crews, and I will definitely be able to do the work of executive producer well. , In addition, I am a director, so I can better assist you in your directing work on the set, and can also provide you with certain professional advice when necessary.”

Li Mu asked him curiously: "You said you made a dv movie that lasted more than 70 minutes? What's the name and where can I see it?"

Favorite Pork Belly said: "There's nowhere to see it yet, I've sent it out for a few small film awards, and if you're interested, I can send you a copy.

"

Li Mu asked, "What's your name?"

"Thursday, Wednesday, the name is a bit strange, it's a work of practice."

Li Mu's eyelids twitched, and he said in his heart, "It wouldn't be so coincidental, would it?"

So Li Mu asked him, "What's your name?"

My favorite pork belly said, "My name is Ning Hao."

Li Mu was overjoyed, and hurriedly asked: "If I invite you to come over to produce this micro-movie, what would you like to do?"

The favorite pork belly hesitated for a moment, and sent one: "Around three thousand, the price is very affordable."

After speaking, it seemed that he was not confident enough, so he added a sentence: "Two thousand and five is also fine, but you must pay one thousand before forming a group."

Li Mu immediately said, "Do you have time now? Come out and meet and talk."

The favorite pork belly immediately said: "I have time and time, I am in the speed Internet cafe in front of the Yanjing Film Academy, you can tell me a place, I can go to find you now."

Li Mu looked at the time, and at 7:30 in the evening, he asked him, "Have you eaten dinner? If you haven't, let's chat while eating. There is an old Dong Yang Scorpion hot pot opposite the East Gate of Renmin University. I'll be waiting for you here. "

My favorite pork belly said: "What do you look like, or what clothes do you wear? I don't have a mobile phone, and I was afraid I couldn't contact you in the past."

Li Mu smiled and said, "I'm wearing gray sweatpants and a blue sweater. Come over now." (To be continued.)
